Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the terrified Black Water Serpent, patted its head, and said:

"I can tell you're unable to say it."

"I can't just leave it at that. After I deal with the Asura Demon King, then..."

Zhang Xiaofan frowned, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He thought that since the Blackwater Serpent had survived eating the divine medicine ten thousand years ago, it was understandable.

Is it possible that this horror existed tens of thousands of years ago?

Moreover, the Blackwater Serpent is said to have exploded and died, which may be due to some kind of curse placed on it by that terrifying being. Southern Xinjiang witchcraft also has such curses.

It's even possible that this terrifying, cursed entity is somehow connected to the divine medicine that the Blackwater Serpent mistakenly ingested.

Moreover, this terrifying being was already this powerful ten thousand years ago; it must have been at least a True Immortal.

It's hard to imagine how powerful they will be ten thousand years from now.

It seems he needs to plan ahead to prevent problems from arising in the first place.

At this moment, Yan Hui flew over from a distance and landed beside Zhang Xiaofan.

At this moment, Yan Hui's heart was already filled with monstrous waves of shock.

What he experienced that day was a hundred times, even ten thousand times, more shocking than anything he had ever experienced in his entire life. He seemed to have vaguely discovered the horror of this world.

He originally intended to come to the Abyss of the Dead to avoid the possibility that the Ghost King would send his disciples to hunt him down.

After descending into the Abyss of the Dead, he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of evil spirits and was in imminent danger. Just when his life was hanging by a thread, the sect leader, the Ghost Emperor, appeared and saved him.

He thought this would be the most terrifying thing he had ever experienced.

Unexpectedly, after the sect leader finished recounting the story of slaying the Blackwater Serpent, he discovered something even more terrifying and unbelievable.

That is, even an existence as powerful as the Blackwater Serpent is as weak as an earthworm in the hands of the sect leader.

The Blackwater Serpent is at the peak of the Taiqing realm, so the sect leader's strength can only be one possibility: he is a True Immortal!
Ancient books record that no one in this world had been able to become an immortal for ten thousand years, but its sect leader defied the heavens and became a true immortal.

This is simply a once-in-a-millennium genius.

No, if the sect leader does not become a true immortal, then for tens of thousands of years, and even hundreds of thousands of years to come, no one will be able to become a true immortal.

He thought that the sect leader's attainment of true immortality was the most shocking and unbelievable thing he had ever seen.

However, he then witnessed the Blackwater Serpent suddenly explode and die.

He saw it too; it was clearly not the sect leader who caused the Blackwater Serpent to explode and die.

The being that could cause the Blackwater Serpent, which had reached the peak of the Taiqing realm, to suddenly explode and die must be at least on par with the sect leader... a True Immortal!
Moreover, no one has become an immortal in the past ten thousand years. This means that the true immortal who could cause the Black Water Serpent to explode and die has existed in this world for at least ten thousand years.

Just how powerful a true immortal who has lived for at least ten thousand years truly is, Yan Hui neither knows nor dares to imagine...

This terrifying True Immortal has never shown himself in the past ten thousand years. If the Black Water Serpent hadn't mentioned that terrifying being and suddenly exploded and died, he and the sect leader would never have discovered that this True Immortal existed in the world.

Furthermore, since no one in this world has been able to become an immortal for thousands of years, it's possible that becoming an immortal is too difficult, or perhaps there is someone who doesn't want cultivators to become immortals, but only wants to be the only true immortal in this world, transcending worldly affairs and looking down upon all living beings.

Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!
Thinking of this, Yan Hui looked at the sect leader, his heart filled with worry.

If this terrifying True Immortal wanted to be the only True Immortal in this world, he would be an absolutely supreme being.

Then, the sect leader, who has just achieved the status of a true immortal, will be in great danger.

His opponent was a true immortal who had lived for at least ten thousand years.

They were beings who had reached the level of true immortals ten thousand years ago; heaven knows how terrifying that must have been.

Yan Hui looked at Zhang Xiaofan with concern and said worriedly:
"Sect Master..." "It's alright, but you mustn't say!"

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand, his sharp eyes piercing through the Abyss of the Dead, looking overseas with murderous intent in them!
His fist clenched so tightly that it made a cracking sound.

Heh... You want to kill me? It's not that easy.

What good is a true immortal who has lived for ten thousand years?

I, Zhang Xiaofan, have mastered the five volumes of the Heavenly Book, creating the Blood Demon Sword, a celestial artifact, and the body of a demon god.

Furthermore, since he began cultivating the Dao, he has deliberately made his magical power several times stronger than that of others of the same level.

The tribulation to become an immortal is hundreds of times more powerful than the tribulations to become an immortal for other cultivators.

This resulted in him becoming a True Immortal, far stronger than other True Immortals of the same level. As for how much stronger, Zhang Xiaofan didn't know, because he had never fought one.

However, Zhang Xiaofan was also very cautious and worried. Because every being who achieves true immortality is extremely terrifying.

Talent, luck, intellect, Taoist skills... these are all rare talents, one in ten thousand years!

Therefore, every true immortal is incredibly powerful.

Moreover, this True Immortal has been a True Immortal for ten thousand years.

However, Zhang Xiaofan was not afraid at all. If that terrifying True Immortal really wanted to kill him, then let's fight! Let's fight to the death!
Let Zhang Xiaofan see whether a terrifying True Immortal who has achieved ten thousand years of cultivation is more powerful, or whether he, a newly achieved True Immortal, is superior.

Zhang Xiaofan was very fortunate to have seen the Black Water Serpent in the Abyss of the Dead, so he made a special trip down there.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to save their loyal subordinate, Yan Hui.

They also couldn't know of the existence of this terrifying true immortal.

In the original novel, the Ghost King devised a plan to lure a beast tide towards the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. He even sacrificed most of his disciples to ensure that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect of the Joyful Union Sect would perish under the beast tide and be destroyed by it.

Finally, he, Yan Hui, and most of the Ghost King Sect disciples were trapped in the beast tide. At that critical moment, it was Yan Hui, one of his subordinates, who suddenly appeared to help and relieve his crisis, but Yan Hui died as a result.

Therefore, if Zhang Xiaofan didn't come down to save Yan Hui, he would feel guilty about it later.

After all, where can you find such a loyal subordinate who would give his life for him?

Zhang Xiaofan has always been one to repay kindness with kindness, never betraying it.

Moreover, without coming down to the Abyss of the Dead, he wouldn't know about the existence of terrifying True Immortals, and therefore wouldn't be able to take precautions in advance.

After all, it would be extremely dangerous if a terrifying True Immortal were to ambush him or plot against him.

This further reinforced Zhang Xiaofan's consistent principle: no matter how powerful one becomes, one must always be cautious.

Otherwise, there will be no redemption.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan looked out of the Abyss of the Dead and towards the Qingyun Sect in the north.

The most important thing right now is to get to Qingyun Sect and stop the Asura Ghost King from destroying Qingyun.

After all, the strongest members of the Qingyun Sect today are Wan Jianyi, who is at the half-step Taiqing realm, Tian Buyi, and Lu Xueqi, who is at the peak of the Shangqing realm.

As for Dao Xuan Zhenren, who was at the Taiqing realm, he has now lost all his cultivation and can no longer wield the Zhuxian Sword.

Whether it's Tian Buyi or Wan Jianyi, even if they're at the half-step Taiqing realm, simply wielding the Zhuxian Sword will cause them to be corrupted by its malevolent energy and suffer a qi deviation.

Not to mention activating the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Even if one were lucky enough to activate the spiritual energy of Tongtian Peak and initiate the Zhuxian Sword Formation, they would still be no match for the Asura Ghost King.
